Hey everybody, I found a P-SB7 on eBay, and have a few questions. If it is an AM scanner only, will that mean I get less voices?

I've found that AM has less noise coming through but the static is what helps spirits speak to you. The sb7 it's AM and FM. the am setting has a slower sweep which could allow more interference. I sweep in reverse on fm at 100 Sweeps a minute. But every body has their own preferences

Yeah, Robin, I did see your (great) review. thanks a lot! Also, how lousy is the speaker? Better than transistor AM radio?

I read your question so I did a very quick SW bandscan - just counting immediately listensble signals on SW. I live in New Jersey near New York City. The Supersonic had 11 good stations Sunday morning at 9:15 am ( one of the worst times for listening) . I then did the same scan on a Sony ICF-SW11 for comparison and got 14. The Sony analog cost 3 times as much. It also has FM stereo but no USB or SD ports. I like my Supersonic and it does a reasonable job on SW. ( Both radios were running on batteries at the time of testing.)

D. Fisher, Thanks very much for your response. I've copied your posting on batch scanning and will follow it. I'm just starting to use the V750 to scan my Hassy negs and your information is of great help. --E. Williams

Why are you replacing your KN-COSM-B with this one? What's the difference between them? I have the KN-COSM-B and I swear it's beeping and acting funny (without the voice alarm).

The cheap scanners you speak of are only code readers. They dont have live data as this "diagnostic tool" does. Its by far the best "diagnostic tool" for the money and its not the tools fault people are to slow in their nodule to understand its functions. Please have someone read its manual to you.

Yes its much better than a scanner. Will work fine with a decent mobile antenna, unless your serious and want to spend some money and invest on really hearing. Otherwise yes to your question.

Hi M., sorry I didn't get right back to you...Yes, I'm surprised that people aren't commenting. Sound is not an insignificant element! Soooo... Does the 210 sound more "lively" and "present"... more Sony-like!? :-) If so, I certainly should have bought THAT one recently when I went to Sangean (El Monte, CA) distribution and swapped 400's, after I lost FM reception on my old one!Thanks,Alan

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

Haven't used the pono, that said ak has a neutral mode (sounds fine), then 2 choices of equalizer, one a 5band manual, and second the one I use mostly is a preprogrammed pro equalizer (their term) which seems to almost always sound the best. pono probably a better value. It's hard to justify a grand for simply a file player, yes nice aesthetics, yes it holds a cr-- load of memory. A&K; could make file searching a bit easier but it looks like they are already on to new model$$$

Yes, it's a P25 digital mode, and also has Analog. The digital mode is like we have here in Ohio for a system called MARCS. If you get the scanner here is something else you might want to get to make your life easy. Get a programming cable, and a program called Win500. It allows you to program the radio without punching buttons on the front. It's much easier and faster. And if you want to make it REAL fast, get an account on Radio Reference. You can download all the frequencies from your area to your PC, then upload using Win500 to this scanner. I did my second scanner with 297 channels in less than 15 minutes.

I contacted Boston Acoustics to get the real scoop. I was told that a B suffix on a BA product indicated a refurbished unit. I said that I did not think that Amazon would charge a premium for a refurbished unit. No response. I'm still confused but seriously considering a Zvox 555 instead - also offerred by Amazon.

Hello I'm jim with Wheatland paranormal. I did purchase the Altec speaker for my sB 7 box and it works very well. it is extremely loud for some reason I cannot turn it down with the volume key on my sB 7 box. but on my laptop or mp3 player the volume works very well. highly recommend it

I just received my SD970 and noticed that it does make a chattering/hunting noise when in full-Auto mode. It seems to do this for 3-4 seconds until the camera and the scene are stable.For whatever reason, it doesn't do this in "P" mode even though I set it to AI-Servo Auto-Focus. So it must be more than just the focus causing the sound.There is a very slight reference to this in the owners manual -- but wanted to verify this is normal operation.

Yes. The scanner has a frequency search so you if you either know it by heart or can find it somewhere you should be ok. I can refer you to a website where you may be able to find it if you want? :)

Audio had a slight buzz that I believe same from the low quality switch mode pier supply. I was going to experiment with a battery yo confirm, but as of yet have not tad time. My guess is it would be wise to go with an aftermarket linear power supply to have the cleanest audio. The I purchased did come with antenna, the rubber duckies type.
